one thing that is really concerning is the steep drop in the number of days with a mean temp < 32F over the last several years.

Another interesting this is how poorly these ranked (on this scale) despite the "better" snow-on-ground days. We got lucky in that category with the back-to-back events.

Its the doggone base state. if I were wealthy, I'd not only be living at 11000 feet at Mammoth, I'd be following the snow round the globe even in our summer. I'd track it thru the Andes and even the Himalayas.
